FIRST LOOK AT FRENCH CONNECTION SS16

Some of our highstreet homewares stores really knock it out of the park, and one that I’m always interested to see is French Connection. Spring/Summer 2016 doesn’t disappoint. Sticking to what they do best, it’s a tightly curated little capsule collection, full of cool timeless shapes and softly tactile materials – think supple worn-in leather, canvas, hammered metals, natural woods and gently faded rugs.

I love how versatile these pieces are, they really would fit in anywhere: uptown, downtown, coast, country or city. You can see my Q&A with French Connection’s homeware designer Lorraine Brennan here. Oh and the collection was shot once again by the fabulous photographer and my good bud Graham Atkins-Hughes. Here’s a few of my favourite picks below. The collection is hitting shops and online next week, so here’s a sneak peek to get your shopping lists prepped.
